Lani had some flowers in her garden from last year. When spring arrived, Lani started planting more flowers in the garden each week. The total numbers of flowers in the garden after weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8 were 14, 18, 22, and 26, respectively. How many flowers did Lani have in her garden
from last year? Assume that the relationship between the two quantities is linear.
a.2
b.4
c.10
d.12

15

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)

i believe the answer is letter c) 8

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
